Economic Outlook Warns Levy Cuts Consumption
The CIO Outlook argues federal sales or manufacturers excise taxes would curb consumer spending and act like a wage cut, worsening the economy as defense and investment slow. It cites Dr. Neil Jacoby’s view that sales taxes hit lower incomes far harder, up to sixty times more than high incomes.

CIO Outlook critiques sales and manufacturers excise taxes
The CIO publication argues that both a sales tax and a manufacturers excise tax are consumption taxes that raise living costs and fail fairness tests. It warns sales taxes hidden and easily pyramiding costs on consumers and notes 32 states have such taxes. It also cautions that federal taxes could become less progressive and urges closing loopholes instead of adopting new excise or sales taxes.
